Divorce Drama: Christina Hall's Rental Income Dispute with Ex-Husband Josh Hall

The ongoing divorce proceedings between HGTV star Christina Hall (née Haack) and her estranged husband, Josh Hall, have taken a contentious turn. According to legal documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Haack has accused Hall of allegedly transferring $35,000 of her rental income into his personal bank account, sparking a heated financial dispute between the former couple.

Uncovering the Rental Income Controversy

Allegations of Unauthorized Fund Transfers

The legal documents reveal that Haack, 41, claims Hall, 43, took the money from her separate property rental income, which she reportedly generates from two rental properties in Tennessee. Haack has stated in the documents that she is "asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for these rental properties."

Conflicting Accounts and Surveillance Concerns

Haack further alleges that Hall contacted her property manager via text on July 8, the day after they both filed for divorce, and requested that the "June payments" be "sent to a different account." However, Haack claims she had no personal contact with Hall on that date and believes he lied in the text, which she provided screenshots of. Haack also expressed concerns that Hall's attorney had sent her a letter demanding she "preserve electronic evidence without it being automatically deleted," leading her to unplug the cameras in their shared residence, only for Hall to allegedly plug them back in every time he returns home, which she believes would allow him to "keep me and my children under surveillance."

Seeking Straightforward Spousal Support and Legal Fees

In the legal documents, Haack reportedly stated that her spousal support and attorney fee payments to Hall should be "straightforward" and "minimal," as she believes Hall has his own income and "should not need any spousal support from me." Haack, who is a "hard-working mother," emphasized that her life revolves around her children and her work, and she does not believe she should be responsible for providing significant financial support to her ex-husband.

The Aftermath: Dropped from HGTV Series and Divorce Filings

Following the split, Hall has been dropped from the upcoming HGTV series "The Flip Off," which was supposed to feature Haack's ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his new wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, competing against the former couple. However, the El Moussas have confirmed that the program will now be "us against her," effectively excluding Hall from the project.Haack and Hall each filed paperwork to end their marriage last week, with Haack listing their date of separation as July 7 and Hall listing it as July 8. Hall has reportedly requested spousal support and for Haack to pay his legal fees, while Haack has asked the court not to award alimony to either party.

A Tumultuous Relationship History

This is Haack's third marriage, as she was previously married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018, with whom she shares two children, and then to British car specialist Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2021. Haack and Hall tied the knot in October 2021 and had a larger oceanfront wedding ceremony in Hawaii during Labor Day Weekend 2022.At the time of their marriage, Haack had expressed optimism, posting on Instagram, "Shared vows in front of family and our close friends. Everything in life has led me to where I am right now, which is exactly where I want to be." However, the latest developments suggest that the couple's relationship has taken a tumultuous turn, with the financial dispute over rental income and the subsequent divorce proceedings adding to the complexity of their separation.
